Each guest brings a unique perspective from across residential construction, landscaping, and excavation. From building luxury homes and outdoor living spaces to running excavation companies, the panel discusses what it actually takes to operate successful contracting businesses while also building a presence online.

Filmed during CONEXPO week in Las Vegas, the conversation dives into the reality of balancing multiple roles as modern contractors — running companies, building teams, managing projects, and increasingly creating content that represents the industry to the outside world.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

• The reality of running construction businesses while creating content

• Social media and its impact on the construction industry

• Legitimacy and credibility in the age of construction influencers

• Growing contracting businesses and managing teams

• Attracting the next generation into the trades

Dirty Business brings together influential voices across construction for honest conversations about the challenges, opportunities, and future of the industry.

No scripts. No corporate spin. Just real discussions from people building businesses every day.
